It’s been too long. Too long since I sat down and wrote something that actually meant something to me. I’ve been the worst kind of blogger for so frigging long that I rarely call myself a blogger these days.  You know when life happens, and it starts being all about the money?  Well, it has been lately anyway.

I have recently come to the conclusion that, I, a complete and utter planner, have no goals in life at the moment. None.
